Agreed. But it's a lot easier to find serviceable outfielders to fill a gap while looking for your version of Trout or Harper...or even Puig. As long as they draft accordingly and spend wisely. But baseball always has and always will start with pitching. So they seem to be on the right track.

JohnnyCanuck:Gunny Highway: Doesnt sound like Harvey asked for him to be released.

Yeah...tfa is a little light on details. I was under the assumption that Harvey and Rauch had a noticeable divide between them after the incident that was not going away. It would be better if a clubhouse leader intervened and straightened it out. But in the absence of that, if two guys don't get along and one is an up and coming star and the other is a journeyman reliever....you know who is leaving. But Harvey might have to learn the hard way that on every pro team he will ever play for there will be a few guys that he will not like....or will not like him. You still have to learn to be teammates and progress toward the goal as a team.

Here is hoping he learns that skill. On a positive note, he seems to have the "lead with your play on the field" thing down.
